In preparing the data tape(s) for this collection, the
National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has removed direct

Section 308(d) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 242m), that

not use the data to learn the identity of any persons or establishments
and that the director of NCHS be notified if any identities are
inadvertently discovered. ICPSR member institutions and other users
ordering data from ICPSR are expected to adhere to these restrictions.
